Northern State Prison

Northern State Prison sits in the city of Newark and serves as one of New Jersey’s state correctional facilities tucked near the Passaic River. The institution manages custody, rehabilitation, vocational training, and mental health services behind its high-security walls. Its location just southwest of downtown Newark places it within a well-connected urban network yet shielded by perimeter fencing and monitored corridors.

If you need to reach the facility, visit 168 Frontage Rd, Newark, NJ 07114. Calls are accepted at (973) 465-0068 for administrative or general inquiries only—do not expect personal visits without prior clearance. Transportation options depend on the facility’s entry requirements; external parties should confirm protocols before planning any trip.
